Fall 2018 Apartment Report Breakfast
On Wednesday, October 17th the Fall 2018 Apartment Report from Multifamily NW debuted at the sold-out Apartment Report Breakfast at the Oregon Convention Center. Our largest capacity crowd ever was greeted by our esteemed panel of speakers who highlighted the report's latest rent and vacancy figures and addressed many timely industry topics. The panel gave insight into property acquisitions and refurbishment in this market and various local economic drivers to housing and development. The panel also explained (or attempted to) the confusing proposals from the city of Portland on applicant screening and security deposits. Attendees also got to hear from Loretta Smith who is running for the open seat on Portland City Council. Lastly, Multifamily NW welcomed two housing association directors from San Francisco give a history on rent control, their current fight against Prop 10 in California and lessons are market can learn in the coming months.
